DR. HUGO FOURIE
MANAGING DIRECTOR
PREBON YAMANE (SOUTH AFRICA) PTY LTD
ATTENTION: DIRECTOR
First, I must solicit your confidence in this transaction,
I am Dr. Hugo Fourie, Managing Director with Prebon Yamane
(South Africa) Pty Ltd . I came to you during my private
search for a reliable person to handle this confidential
transaction, which involves huge sum of money to a foreign
account.
The Proposition:
A foreigner an American, late Engr John creek (SNR) died on
30th of January 2000 in Kenya airways, banked with us at
Prebon Yamane (South Africa) Pty Ltd and had a closing
balance worth US$24Million, the bank now expects a next of
kin as beneficiary. Valuable efforts have being made by
Prebon Yamane (South Africa) Pty Ltd to get in touch with
any member of his family but he had neither wife nor
children that is known to us. The only next of kin name
given to us by late John Creek died in Sept 11th terrorist
attack in U.S.A.
Failure to claim this fund within the stipulated time frame
from the government, it will be return into the government
treasury as "UNCLAIMED BILL".
In fact I could have done this deal alone but because of my
position in this country as a civil servant(A Banker), we
are not allowed to operate a foreign account and would
eventually raise an eye brow on my side during the time of
transfer because I work in this bank. This is the actual
reason why it will require a second party or fellow who
will forward claims as the next of kin with affidavit of
trust of oath to the Bank and also present a foreign
account where he will need the money to be re-transferred
into on his request as it may be after due verification and
clarification by the correspondent branch of the bank where
the whole money will be remitted from to your own
designation bank account.
All documents and proves to enable you get this fund will
be carefully worked out. I am assuring you that this
business is 100% risk free involvement. Your share stays
while the rest will be for myself. As soon as I receive an
acknowledgement of the receipt of this message in
acceptance, If this proposal is acceptable by you, kindly
get to me on email hugofourie@executivemail.co.za or call
me on this number: +27-72-720-7880.
Please furnish me with your most confidential phone/fax
numbers and exclusive Bank account particulars so that I
can use this information to apply for the release and
subsequent transfer of the fund in your favor.
Please, you have been adviced to keep letter confidential
and private as we are still in service and intend to retire
from service after I conclude this deal with you.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation.
Yours faithfully,
Dr. Hugo Fourie,
Managing Director
Prebon Yamane (South Africa) Pty Ltd
